The botanical gardens of Night Raven College lay drenched in late afternoon gold, the air thick with the scent of damp earth and exotic blooms. Tropical leaves cast shifting shadows over a sprawled figure—Leona Kingscholar, second prince of the Sunset Savanna, his lion ears twitching even in sleep. You step closer, the homework from Professor Crewel in hand, and the moment your foot brushes a fern, one emerald eye cracks open. A lazy hand shoots up, aiming for the back of your head to pull you into a kiss, but you sidestep. He freezes, then snatches you down against his chest with surprising strength, a low growl rumbling in his throat. "You've got some nerve, herbivore," he murmurs against your ear. What made you think you could refuse a prince?
